Rhymes with DOLOMITES
(Concise Encyclopedia)Mountain group, northern Italian Alps. Including a number of impressive peaks, 18 of which rise to more than 10,000 ft (3,050 m), the range and its characteristic rock are named for the 18th-century French geologist Dieudonné Dolomieu, who made the first scientific study of the region. The mountains are formed of light-colored dolomitic limestone, which erosion has carved into grotesque shapes. Popular with tourists and mountain-climbers, the area has a number of resort towns.

I am not a big fan of World of WarCraft and I have never installed it on Ubuntu or any Linux OS. I will do the best I can to assist.
I did some research and found some instructions that outlines the process of installing World of WarCraft on ubuntu.
Firstly, you will need to install wine, which is available in your Ubuntu repositories.
sudo apt-get install wine
You do not have to use a PPA package, only if you choose to do so.
Also, WoW 64bit has been reported to crash a lot. Though, there is a work around, running WoW 32bit seems to be the better choice.
These instructions will tell you how to install WoW using wine. It is mostly done from the command line.

I seem to be seeing more and more people changing their names to show that they are a fan of Odd Future. They are either doing this just because of the song Yonkers. (Which by the way isn't Tyler The Creator's best song. He has better songs then that.) Or they are just doing it because everyone else is doing it. Its funny because I know some of them previously had names relating to Wiz Khalifa. (They also changed their name just because of one ******** song. Black and Yellow. Which also by the way is not Wiz Khalifa's best song at all. I know writing this makes me a hipster and a hater but I don't care anymore. Its getting quite annoying. These posers are walking around saying things like "swag" and "free Earl" when they have no idea that Earl is out. They also make themselves look really stupid. I was listening to a song by Mellowhype (Hodgy Beats and Left Brain) and someone commented saying " Nice to know Mellowhype is finally getting the repsect he deserves. " Seriously? He? Its not a person you retard. Its a two man group. I know Tyler insulted hipsters in Yonkers but oh well. I guess I had a hipster moment. This is the last time I'm going to rage about posers. At least they're getting them both more fans.
Oh & btw yes. Yes I'm mad. :c

Hi Everyone!
My name is Jennie Lee and I am a rookie this year on the LPGA Tour. Ever since my junior golf days in Southern California, I've watched and admired the greats and pioneers of women's golf on TV, dreaming that one day, I can be one of them. Putting contests amongst friends would always include, "if you make this putt, you win the U.S. Open", or after draining a 15-footer on the practice green, "Dang, you're so pro!" Every junior golfer dreams of the moment, imagining that the 12-foot putt downhill, left to right, is THE putt to winning the Championship. It's hard to believe that after earning my LPGA Tour card through Qualifying School last December, I am at the doorsteps of making those dreams become reality.
I grew up in Huntington Beach, CA. and after graduating from Edison High School, I earned a scholarship to play golf for Duke University in Durham, NC. Although a long way from home, I wanted to challenge myself to perform my best in a strong academic and athletic environment. Graduating in May of 2009 with a degree in Sociology, I turned professional following the NCAA Championships. I played on the LPGA Futures Tour for a year and half, learning the ways to live out of a suitcase and playing tournaments in consecutive weeks. Although traveling can be exhausting at times, I discovered how much I enjoy exploring new cities and also visiting Guy Fieri's restaurant discoveries on his Food Network show "Drivers, Dine-Ins, and Dives".
After LPGA Qualifying School last December, I have been spending my time at home in Henderson, NV. Our weather should be warming up with March just around the corner, but this past weekend, we had a storm come through the Las Vegas Valley, leaving the neighboring mountains covered in snow. Work on my golf game is going well as I am trying to be a little more precise in my practice routine (and of course, working on those downhill, left to right 12-footers) to prepare for the upcoming tournament season. My first LPGA event will be the RR Donnelly Founders Cup in Phoenix, AZ, followed by the Kia Classic in the City of Industry, CA.
My journey will begin in less than three weeks and am thrilled to meet new friends, players, sponsors, staff, fans, and others who make our events possible. I am still clueless as to tracking down the PB&J and bananas for my snacks on the course, or figuring out where to register for tournament weeks, but I do know for sure, I am a very lucky girl to be living my dream.

Many organizations and resources exist to assist women who are faced with the unique challenges that come to those managing a bleeding or clotting disorder. These conditions require special care and attention, and these resources can be helpful. Please note that these resources are not a part of the HTC, but external organizations that provide care, information, education, opportunities and options for women with bleeding and clotting disorders. Always refer with your physician about particular medical advice that you may find online.
Searching the internet for information about a condition can be filled with frightening and misleading information. Although we recommend you always consult your physician for medical advice, there are some resources online that can provide helpful and accurate information to women living with bleeding and clotting disorders. The National Library of Medicine provides very easy to navigate site about many health topics, including bleeding disorders, at their MedlinePlus website. The National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute has very detailed information on Hemophilia, von Willebrand Disease and other blood related conditions. Another great online resource for women with bleeding or clotting conditions is the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The National Women's Health Information Center, a part of the Office on Women's Health, works to improve the health and well-being of women and girls in the United States.
The Hemophilia Society of Colorado works alongside the Mountain States Regional Hemophilia Treatment Center to serve affected families in Colorado and parts of Montana and Wyoming to provide Education, Financial Assistance, Youth Activities, and Community Activities.
The HepC Connection is a unique support system established in Denver in October 1995 to assist HepC-challenged individuals and their families. It was founded by Ann Jesse and a dedicated group of community activists concerned about the mysterious viral disease that is fast assuming epidemic proportions in the United States.
The Colorado AIDS Project (CAP) is the oldest and largest non-profit (501 (c) (3)), community-based HIV and AIDS service and education agency in Colorado. Serving the Denver-Metro area and the surrounding counties (Adams, Arapahoe, Denver, Douglas and Jefferson), any man, woman or child with an HIV or AIDS diagnosis is eligible for CAP's services and referrals.
The mission of the Rocky Mountain Hemophilia and Bleeding Disorders Association is to improve the quality of care and life for persons with inherited bleeding disorders, including hemophilia and Von Willebrand disease, through education, peer support, resource and referral.

Regulatory science
Regulatory science refers broadly to the scientific and technical foundations upon which regulations are based in various industries - particularly those involving health or safety. Regulatory bodies employing such principles in the US include for example the FDA for food and medical products, the EPA for the environment, and OSHA for work safety. "Regulatory Science" is contrasted from regulatory affairs and regulatory law, which refer to the administrative or legal aspects of regulation, in that the former is focused on the regulations' scientific (natural, not social) underpinnings and concerns - rather than the regulations' promulgation, implementation, compliance, or enforcement.
Regulatory science is industry sector specific[edit]
Regulatory science is an emerging area of interest within pharmaceutical medicine as the shaping and implementation of legislation and guidelines. One definition of "regulatory science" is the science of developing new tools, standards and approaches to evaluate the efficacy, safety, quality and performance of medical products in order to assess benefit-risk and facilitate a sound and transparent regulatory decision-making. It has been recognized as having a significant impact on the industry's ability to bring new medicines and medical devices to patients in need. Regulatory science challenges current concepts of benefit/risk assessment, submission and approval strategies, patient's involvement and ethical aspects. It creates the platform for launching new ideas – not only by the pharmaceutical industry and regulatory authorities, but also by, for example, academia, who wants to contribute to better use of their research activities within medical aspects. Regulatory science has the potential as an enabler for directing companies towards more efficient global development of medical products as well as more robust quality decision-making processes.
The origin of the term regulatory science is unknown. It was probably coined sometimes in the late 1970s in an undated memorandum prepared by A. Alan Moghissi who was describing scientific issues that the newly formed US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) was facing. During that period the EPA was forced to meet legally mandated deadlines to make decisions that would require reliance upon science that was not meeting conventional scientific requirements. At that time the prevailing view was that there was no need to establish a new scientific discipline because "science is science" regardless of how its application. In the spring of 1985 Moghissi established the Institute for Regulatory Science in the Commonwealth of Virginia as a non-profit organization with the objective to perform scientific studies "at the interface between science and the regulatory system"
Based on several decades of experience regulatory science is logically defined as a distinct scientific discipline constituting the (natural, not social) scientific foundation of regulatory, legislative, and judicial decisions. Much like many scientific disciplines that have evolved within the last several decades, regulatory science is both interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary and relies upon a large number of basic and applied scientific disciplines.
Consistent with its mission, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) suggests that "Regulatory science is the science of developing new tools, standards and approaches to assess the safety, efficacy, quality and performance of FDA-regulated products."(1) To the extent that goes beyond discovery and into development, the term "Regulatory Science & Engineering" is sometimes employed (see also "Regulatory Engineering" below).
There have been several attempts to define regulatory science. In many cases there are claims that there is a difference between regulatory science and "academic science" or "research science" (2). The primary problem is the lack of appreciation that many branches of science are evolving and much of the evolving science includes inherent uncertainties.
Regulatory engineering[edit]
Engineering is the development of new products and processes, hence regulatory engineering encompasses principally the development of products and processes to facilitate or better examine regulations or their scientific foundations. Another related segment of regulatory science deal with the application of engineering design or analysis to operations such as the safety of nuclear and other power plants, chemical production facilities, mining operations, and air transportation.
Sometimes the term "regulatory engineer(ing)" is misused to refer to essentially administrative or regulatory roles dealing with organizing or coordinating regulatory matters for an organization; however, "engineering" refers only to functional design of products and processes, and in many jurisdictions this definition is legally enforced (see Regulation and licensure in engineering).
Areas of Focus[edit]
Human health[edit]
By far the predominant foci of Regulatory Science pertain to human health and well-being. This realm covers a broad range of scientific areas - including pollution and toxicology, work safety, food, drugs, and numerous others.
Though secondary to human interest, regulations targeting animals and the environment can also be included. (For example, the US Clean Water Act is based upon an interest in protecting water quality for its own sake, in contrast with the Clean Air Act which is premised upon protecting air quality only for the sake of human health; however, these are ideological policy premises rather than scientific matters themselves.)
The US Department of Agriculture regulates animal care, and the FDA regulates humaneness for animal studies. Regulatory ecology covers protection of various species, protection of wetlands, and numerous other regulated areas including ecotoxicology.
Regulatory Economics[edit]
There are numerous economic decisions in the regulatory process including the economics part of cost-benefit analysis.
Science in Legislation and in Courts[edit]
Although often less than fully recognized the scientific foundation of legislative decisions are included in regulatory science and should be based on reliable science. Similarly courts have recognized the need to rely upon information that meets scientific requirements.
Scientific Foundation of Regulatory Science[edit]
Based on the unique needs of regulatory science Moghissi et al. developed the concept of Best Available Science (BAS) and Metrics for Evaluation of Scientific Claims" (MESC) derived from BAS.[1] The BAS/MESC system is rather complex, but its basic requirements are as follows:
Principles of the BAS/MESC[edit]
- Open-mindedness principle: This principle implies the willingness to accept new knowledge and careful evaluation of the claim. Historical evidence suggests numerous misdeeds by theocracies, individual scientists and others in rejecting scientifically valid ideas
Principle of skepticism: This principle requires that those who make a scientific claim are obligated to provide sufficient evidence supporting their claim. The skepticism principle makes sure that the open-mindedness principle is not misused. Universal scientific principles: All scientific disciplines use certain methods, processes, and techniques in pursuit of their professional activities. The universal scientific principles (USP) imply that there are certain principles applicable to virtually all scientific disciplines and is valid regardless of the nature of the discipline. Reproducibility principle: Reproducibility is the true proof of the validity of a scientific claim and separates undisputed areas of science form those that include assumptions, interpretations, and in some cases, the inclusion of ideological and societal objectives in a scientific assertion.

Would it be better to use a familiar toy that Lisl already is crazy about for detection work, or introduce a new toy to use and keep her real play toys separate?
A Kong would be ideal to use because of it being hollow, but I do not know if using one of these for working and playing will be detrimental to her leaning to detect. I already use it for other training tasks but they do not involve detection work. |

A Charleston County School of the Arts theater manager is accused of having sex with a high school student inside the school's theater, according to police.
Carl Barnwell Jr., 30, of Woodmere Drive in Charleston, is charged with sexual battery of a 16-year-old student, who will remain unidentified. Barnwell appeared before a bond court judge Friday morning.
The girl's parents addressed the judge during the hearing about their disappointment with the school. "We're sorry the school system let this happen on the premises," the girl's father said in court. "The school system has to change. Someone has to be smart enough to change this. We have to protect our kids."
Charleston County School District General Counsel John Emerson released a statement on Friday afternoon: "We did a criminal background check on him as we do every new hire. Neither Mr. Barnwell's history, nor his performance as an employee with the district, suggested in any way that he might engage in the conduct of which he is accused. Once the allegations were made, we immediately placed Mr. Barnwell on administrative leave pending an investigation. At this time, it is a police matter and additional questions about the investigation should be directed to the City of North Charleston Police Department."
The student's parents did not want to comment further following the hearing. A judge set Barnwell's bail at $50,000. Barnwell is accused of having sexual intercourse with the student on the school's property between March 1 and May 30, according to an affidavit.
The student told police that she has had sex with Barnwell about once a week since December 2012, according to the court document. She also told investigators she had sex with Barnwell on two separate occasions at the school's "upstairs area of the theatre," the affidavit stated.
Police have video of Barnwell admitting to them that he had sex with the student on school grounds, according to the affidavit.
His attorney, David Aylor, who appeared before the judge, said that Barnwell graduated from the College of Charleston with a theater degree and has no prior criminal record.
This was Barnwell's second year working as a theater manager for the School of the Arts, Aylor said. Barnwell went to high school in Beaufort and has worked in several theater houses outside of the area, according to Aylor.
The school's principal reported to police that a parent had told her that she had "compelling evidence of a teacher having a inappropriate relationship with student," a police report stated.
Police interviewed that parent, who told investigators she had letters between her daughter and the alleged victim talking about an affair between a student and teacher, the report stated.
The letters were later obtained by police. The alleged victim also identified Barnwell as her mentor and "tech teacher."
"I trusted this man. He looked me in the face and lied to me. I don't have faith in anything anymore," the student's father told the judge.

Faces of Public Health: Esther Chernak, Drexel University School of Public Health
The Center for Public Health Readiness and Communication (CPHRC) at the Drexel University School of Public Health in Philadelphia recently re-launched DiversityPreparedness.org, a clearinghouse of resources and an information exchange portal to facilitate communication, networking and collaboration to improve preparedness, build resilience and eliminate disparities for culturally diverse communities across all phases of an emergency. The site had originally been developed by Dennis Andrulis, now at the Texas Health Institute, and Jonathan Purtle, who co-writes a blog on public health for the Philadelphia Inquirer.
>>Bonus Links:
- Read a previous NewPublicHealth interview with Dennis Andrulis
- Read a previous NewPublicHealth interview with Jonathan Purtle
NewPublicHealth recently spoke with Esther Chernak, MD, MPH, the head of CPHRC, about the re-launched site and her work in preparedness.
NewPublicHealth: Tell us a little bit about your background and how you came to lead the Center for Public Health Readiness and Communication.
Esther Chernak: I'm an infectious disease physician by training and pretty much have been working in public health since I finished my infectious disease fellowship in 1991 at the University of Pennsylvania. I started working in the Philadelphia Department of Public Health in its city clinic system doing HIV/AIDS care, and then became the Clinical Director of HIV Clinical Programs for the health centers back in the early '90s when the epidemic was obviously very different. I then moved to working in infectious disease epidemiology as a staff doctor in the acute communicable disease control program and was involved in infectious disease surveillance and outbreak investigations for a number of years.
Then in 1999, I took a job with the City Health Department in what was then called bioterrorism preparedness. That was the time when major cities in the country were just beginning to be funded to do bioterrorism response plans. Groups that were involved in bioterrorism preparedness recognized relatively quickly that despite the fact that we were dealing with planning for novel strains of influenza and pandemic preparedness and SARS and smallpox, we were also dealing with many, many really significant infectious disease outbreaks, and then ultimately non-infectious disease related issues that had huge impacts on public health, such as earthquakes and hurricanes. Those links helped prepare me for my role at the Center.
FDA's Role in Disaster Preparedness: Q&A with Brooke Courtney
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) was a partner agency for last week's Preparedness Summit in Atlanta. NewPublicHealth spoke with Brooke Courtney, Senior Regulatory Counsel in the FDA Office of Counterterrorism and Emerging Threats, about how the agency plans for disasters it hopes never occur. Previously, Courtney was the Preparedness Director at the Baltimore City Health Department and in that role oversaw all of the public health preparedness and response activities for Baltimore City.
NewPublicHealth: What did you speak about at the Summit last week?
Brooke Courtney: FDA views the summit as an unparalleled opportunity each year to engage with stakeholders at the state, local and federal levels—to share with them updates from the federal side and also for us to get feedback from them about challenges and successes. We engage with stakeholders on a regular basis, but this is really the meeting where the largest number of people involved in preparedness come together, and it's a great opportunity to see people face-to-face.
We feel really fortunate to have been able to take part in the summit for the past few years. For this year's summit FDA served on the Planning Committee and also participated in the medical countermeasure policy town hall with federal colleagues from the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and the national security staff, all of whom we work with closely.
Another thing that we like to do at the summit each year is to give a more in-depth update through a session with the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the U.S. Department for Health and Human Services (HHS) legal counsel on the authorities that we have that we use related to the emergency use of medical countermeasures during emergencies. This year's session was especially exciting for us because it was an opportunity for us to discuss with stakeholders some new authorities that were established in 2013 to enhance preparedness and response flexibility.
For example, we can now clearly issue emergency use authorizations in advance of emergencies, which is really a critical medical countermeasure tool for preparedness purposes. Through these flexibilities, for example, we've issued three emergency use authorizations in the past year for three different in-vitro diagnostic tests to address the emerging threats of H7 and 9 influenza and MERS-CoV.
NPH: What are the key responsibilities the FDA has in helping to prepare the United States for possible disasters?
Courtney: As an agency of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, the FDA, at its core, is a public health agency. FDA's mission is to protect and promote public health in a number of critical ways. We're responsible for regulating more than $1 trillion in consumer goods annually, ranging from medical products such as drugs and vaccines to tobacco and food products.

HHS: Significant Improvement on Leading Health Indicators that Influence Reduction in Preventable Disease and Death
A new report from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Healthy People 2020, finds that the country's health is importing in more than half—14 of 26—of the critical measures known to have a major influence in reducing preventable disease and death. The Leading Health Indicators include categories such as access to care; maternal and child health; tobacco use; nutrition; and physical activity. "The Leading Health Indicators are intended to motivate action to improve the health of the whole population," said Howard Koh, MD, Assistant Secretary for Health, in a release. "Today's LHI Progress Report shows that we are doing just that." Among the indicators that been met or are improving:
- Fewer adults smoking cigarettes
- Fewer children exposed to secondhand smoke
- More adults meeting physical activity targets
- Fewer adolescents using alcohol or illicit drugs

Study: Americans Twice as Likely to Get Food Poisoning from Restaurants than at Home
Americans are twice as likely to get food poisoning from food at a restaurant than they are from food at home, according to a new study from the nonprofit Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI). The organization analyzed "solved" outbreaks over a ten-year period, finding that 1,610 outbreaks in restaurants sickened more than 28,000 people while 893 outbreaks linked to private homes sickened approximately 13,000 people. The study also determined that of the 104 outbreaks linked to milk, about 70 percent were caused by raw milk—meaning that while less than one percent of consumers drink raw milk, they account for 70 percent of the illnesses caused by milk-borne outbreaks. The researchers also expressed concern over the 42 percent drop in reported outbreaks from 2011 to 2012. "Underreporting of outbreaks has reached epidemic proportions," said CSPI food safety director Caroline Smith DeWaal. "Yet the details gleaned from outbreak investigations provide essential information so public health officials can shape food safety policy and make science-based recommendations to consumers. Despite the improvements in food safety policy in the past decade, far too many Americans still are getting sick, being hospitalized, or even dying due to contaminated food."

Study: Antipsychotic Medications for Foster Care Youth Remain High
Use of antipsychotic medications for unlabeled indications such as treatment for attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is increasing among youth in foster care, according to a new study in the Journal of Adolescent Psychopharmacology. Researchers from the University of Maryland, Morgan State University and the Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions analyzed data on 266,590 youth ages 2-17 years and continuously enrolled in a mid-Atlantic state Medicaid program in 2006, finding that approximately one-third of the ADHD-diagnosed foster care youth included in the assessment received atypical antipsychotics. This study adds critical hard data to our understanding of a persistent and unacceptable trend in pediatric psychiatry," said Harold S. Koplewicz, MD, Editor-in-Chief of Journal of Child and Adolescent Psychopharmacology, and President, Child Mind Institute, in a release. "Our poorest, most vulnerable children, lacking access to evidence-based care, are receiving potentially harmful treatment with little oversight. The highlight of Burcu et al.'s paper for any reader should be the simple but necessary recommendations for antipsychotic prescribing and monitoring in these populations."

FDA Proposes New 'Nutrition Facts' Food Labels
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has put forth a new proposed Nutrition Facts label for packaged foods. The updated design would reflect scientific information not available when the current label was designed two decades ago. For example, it would replace out-of-date serving sizes and feature a design that highlights key parts of the label, such as calories and serving sizes. "For 20 years consumers have come to rely on the iconic nutrition label to help them make healthier food choices," said FDA Commissioner Margaret A. Hamburg, MD. "To remain relevant, the FDA's newly proposed Nutrition Facts label incorporates the latest in nutrition science as more has been learned about the connection between what we eat and the development of serious chronic diseases impacting millions of Americans."

Study: One in Five U.S. Health Facilities Don't Provide Hand Sanitizer Everywhere Needed
One in five U.S. health facilities don't make hand sanitizer available everywhere necessary, needlessly increasing the risk for health-care associated infections, according to a new study in the American Journal of Infection Control. In addition, approximately half of the hospitals, ambulatory care facilities and long-term care facilities included in their budgets funds for proper hand hygiene training. The study examine compliance with the World Health Organization's hand hygiene guidelines at 168 facilities in 42 states and Puerto Rico. "When hospitals don't focus heavily on hand hygiene, that puts patients at unnecessary risk for preventable health care-associated infections," said by Laurie Conway, RN, MS, CIC, PhD student at Columbia Nursing, in a release. "The tone for compliance with infection control guidelines is set at the highest levels of management, and our study also found that executives aren't always doing all that they can to send a clear message that preventing infections is a priority."

CDC Foundation Expands Safe Injection Campaign
The CDC Foundation and Eli Lilly are partnering to expand the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) Safe Injection Practices Coalition—a safety awareness campaign that provides information for health providers and patients. According to CDC data, more than 150,000 patients have been notified of potential exposure to hepatitis and HIV because of unsafe injection practices in U.S. health care settings since 2001, and CDC researchers have found that medical injections are an overlooked source of infections and outbreaks. Planned actives of the partnership include:
- Expand the One & Only Campaign to new audiences such as individual and group-owned physician practices
- Educate health care providers through new and enhanced training and communication materials to address emerging issues
- Improve the Safe Injection Practices Coalition website and social media platforms to share resources and toolkits with new audiences
- Engage new and existing Safe Injection Practices Coalition partners

Study: Increasing Young Men's Knowledge of Emergency Contraception Could Increase Access, Use
Increasing young men's knowledge of emergency contraception could increase access to the drug and help prevent unwanted pregnancies, according to a new study in Journal of Family Planning and Reproductive Health Care. Emergency contraception, commonly known as "the morning after pill," prevents pregnancy after unprotected sex or when other methods of contraception fail. Nine U.S. states allow pharmacists to dispense emergency contraception without a prescription under certain conditions. The study gauged the knowledge of 101 males and 97 females ages 18 to in 2008 and 2009. "About half of the women understood basic facts about emergency contraception, how you get it, how you use it, and the fact that male partners were also able to buy it over-the-counter for their female partners," said Sheree Schrager, a member of the study team and a researcher at Children's Hospital Los Angeles, California. "But young men had significantly lower knowledge then the young women did, and this is an opportunity for providers to reach out to young men in the hopes of reaching more young women to use emergency contraception." According to the researchers, unplanned pregnancies are more common in poor communities, where there are also greater health and economic consequences. Read more on sexual health.
U.S., Global Partners to Joint in Prevention, Detection and Response to Infectious Disease
The United States has joined with 26 countries and other global partners to, over the next five years, work to prevent, detect and effectively respond to naturally occurring, accidental and intentional infectious disease threats. Additional partners in the Global Health Security Agenda include the World Health Organization (WHO), the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and the World Organization for Animal Health (OIE). "While we have made great progress in fighting and treating diseases, biological threats can emerge anywhere, travel quickly, and take lives," said Lisa Monaco, Assistant to the President for Homeland Security and Counterterrorism. "The recent outbreaks of H7N9 influenza and Middle East Respiratory Syndrome are reminders of the need to step up our efforts as a global community. The Global Health Security Agenda is about accelerating progress toward a world safe and secure from infectious disease threats." The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has pledged $40 million in FY 2014 to advancing Global Health Security Agenda objectives, and its FY 2015 budget will include an additional $45 million to prevent avoidable catastrophes, detect threats early and mobilize effective responses to contain outbreaks.

CDC: States with Indoor Tanning Laws See Far Less Use by Female High School Students
States with indoor tanning laws—especially those requiring parental permission or setting age restrictions—see lower rates of indoor tanning by female high school students, according to a new study in the American Journal of Public Health. The study was conducted by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Studies have connected the increased exposure to ultraviolet radiation from indoor tanning to increased risk of melanoma; each year the United States sees 60,000 new melanoma diagnoses and approximately 3.5 million treatments for nonmelanoma skin cancer. The study determined that the odds of female students engaging in indoor tanning in states with any indoor tanning laws were 30 percent less than those in states without such laws, and that the odds in states with systems access, parental permission and age restriction laws were 42 percent less than those in states without any laws. "State indoor tanning laws, especially age restrictions, may be effective in reducing indoor tanning among our nation's youth," said Gery Guy, PhD, health economist and the study's lead author. "We need to address the harms of indoor tanning, especially among children. Indoor tanning laws can be part of a comprehensive effort to prevent skin cancers and change social norms around tanned skin." Read more on cancer.

CDC Report Details Support of State, Local Health Responses
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has released a new report detailing its support of state and local public health responses from 2012 to 2013, as well as assessments of all state and select local public health preparedness. The 2013-2014 National Snapshot of Public Health Preparedness is the sixth annual report from CDC's Office of Public Health Preparedness and Response. "The lives protected by the public health response to Hurricane Sandy, the fungal meningitis outbreak, and the tornadoes in Joplin are just a few examples of how communities and CDC can work together to protect the public's health when its needed most," said CDC Director Tom Frieden, MD, MPH.
Among the report's highlights:
- During outbreaks and emergencies, response time is essential. In 2012, lead state responders reported for immediate duty within 27 minutes of receiving notification of a potential public health emergency—9 minutes faster than the 2011 national average.
- In 2012, across the 62 Public Health Emergency Preparedness (PHEP) cooperative agreement awardees, Emergence Management Program (EMP) activities included 185 engagements and 204 exercises. Internationally, EMP activities across 35 countries included 15 activations, 19 engagements, and 12 exercises.
- The percentage of E. coli-positive tests analyzed and entered into the PulseNet database within four working days increased from 90 percent to 94 percent and timely testing and reporting of Listeria-positive results increased from 88 percent to 92 percent.
"The ability of our local and state health departments to be innovative and maintain a steady level of preparedness despite extensive budget cuts is reassuring," said Ali Khan, M.D., M. P. H., director CDC's Office of Public Health Preparedness and Response. "However, preventing an erosion of our nation's health security will be difficult in the current fiscal environment."

Study: Overweight Kindergarteners Four Times as Likely to Be Overweight Teens
Children who are overweight at the age of five are four times as likely to be obese by the age of 14 than are children who start their school years at an average weight, according to a new study in the New England Journal of Medicine. Approximately 27 percent of the five-year-olds in the study were overweight. Using data on almost 8,000 children gathered by the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study conducted by the U.S. National Center for Education Statistics, researchers determined that:
- Approximately 32 percent of kids who were overweight when they entered kindergarten had become obese by age 14, compared to 8 percent of normal-weight kindergarteners.
- The obesity rate rose most rapidly between first and third grades—from 13 percent to almost 19 percent—but not significantly between fifth and eighth grades.
- Between kindergarten and eighth grade, the prevalence of obesity rose by 65 percent among white children, 50 percent among Hispanic children and more than doubled among black children.
"If we're just focused on improving weight when kids are adolescents, it may not have as much of an impact as focusing on the preschool-age years," said lead researcher Solveig Cunningham of Emory University, adding that the study "doesn't tell us what to do about it, but it helps tell us when we need to think creatively about what to do." Read more on obesity.
Study: One-third of Americans, Two-Thirds of University Students Have Used Indoor Tanning
Despite clear and widespread data on their link to skin cancer risk, more than a third of Americans and nearly two-thirds of U.S. university students have used indoor tanning, according to a new study in the journal JAMA Dermatology. Approximately 19 percent of teens had also used the machines. Researchers at the University of California, San Francisco based their conclusions on an analysis of 88 surveys covering more than 406,000 people in the United States, Europe and Australia. "It is appalling how often exposure to indoor tanning takes place in presumably educated populations and particularly worrisome that we allow adolescents to be exposed to this carcinogen," said Mark Lebwohl, MD, chairman of the department of dermatology at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City. "We must do a much better job at educating people of all ages about the risks of indoor tanning." Read more on cancer.
Top 10 NewPublicHealth Posts of 2013
Infographics, public health news and innovative efforts to improve community health were the topics of the most widely read posts on NewPublicHealth this year.
Take a look back at our most popular posts:
- The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation's Commission to Build a Healthier America will release new recommendations on early childhood education and improving community health on Monday January 13. Earlier this year, new city maps to illustrate the dramatic disparity between the life expectancies of communities mere miles away from each other. Where we live, learn, work and play can have a greater impact on our health than we realize.
- Three of the infographics created for the NewPublicHealth series on the National Prevention Strategy, a cross-federal agency emphasis on public health priorities, were among the most popular posts of 2013. Stable Jobs = Healthier Lives, the most widely viewed NPH infographic, tells a visual story about the role of employment in the health of our communities. One example: Laid-off workers are 54 percent more likely to have fair or poor health and 83 percent more likely to develop a stress-related health condition.
- Better Transportation =Healthier Lives, another 2013 infographic, tells a visual story about the role of transportation in the health of our communities. Consider this important piece of the infographic as we head into 2014: The risk of obesity increases 6 percent with every additional mile spent in the car, and decreases 5 percent with every kilometer walked.
- Top Five Things You Didn't Know Could Spread Disease was the best read of the very well read stories on NewPublicHealth during Outbreak Week—an original series created by NPH to accompany the release in late December of Outbreaks: Protecting Americans from Infectious Disease, a pivotal report released by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and Trust for America's Health.
- Better Education=Healthier Lives, another widely viewed—and shared—infographic on NewPublicHealth, shared the critical information that more education increases life span, decreases health risks such as heart disease and—for mothers who receive more years in school—increases the chance that her baby will die in infancy.
- How Healthy is Your County? In 2014 the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation will release the fifth County Health Rankings, a data set more and more communities rely on to see improvements—and room for change—in the health of their citizens. NewPublicHealth's 2013 coverage of the County Health Rankings & Roadmaps included posts on the six communities that won the inaugural RWJF Roadmaps to Health Prize for their innovative strategies to create a culture of health by partnering across sectors in their communities.
- The Five Deadliest Outbreaks and Pandemics in History, was our seventh best read post of the year. Read it again and ask: Are we prepared as a nation for the next big outbreak?
- What does architecture have to do with public health? Visit the Apple Store in New York City's SoHo neighborhood, Texas' Red Swing project, or....view our post from earlier this year.
- Less than a month after the shootings in late 2012 at Sandy Hook elementary school in Connecticut, the Harvard School of Public Health held a live webcast town hall meeting on gun violence on the legal, political, and public health factors that could influence efforts to prevent gun massacres. And toward the end of 2013, NewPublicHealth sat down with former Surgeon General David Satcher, MD, MPH, to talk about the role of research in preventing gun violence.
- NewPublicHealth covered the release of a report by Trust for America's Health that found that most states are not implementing enough proven strategies to prevent prescription drug abuse. But the year ended with some better news on the critical public health issue. An NPH news roundup post reported on a study funded by the National Institutes of Health which found that rates of prescription drug abuse by high school students have dropped slightly.
Close runners up included How Do You Transform a Community After a Century of Neglect?, which looked at how Bithlo, Fla. is working to bring much-needed services to its main street through the "Transformation Village" initiative, as well as 'Unprecedented Destruction': Ocean County Public Health Continues to Respond to Hurricane Sandy, which brought together a NewPublicHealth video and a Q&A to illustrate how public health officials and departments worked together to help their regions recover from the devastating superstorm. Also in the top 20 for year was an interview with New York State Health Commissioner Nirav R. Shah, MD, MPH, on the release of the 2013-17 Prevention Agenda: New York State's Health Improvement Plan—a statewide, five-year plan to improve the health and quality of life for everyone who lives in New York State.

More Than One Million People Now Enrolled for Health Insurance Coverage under the Affordable Care Act
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), which administers the health insurance provisions of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) reported late last week that more than one million people have now enrolled for coverage under the ACA.
CMS also reported that December enrollment as of December 27 was seven times that of October and November. Open enrollment will continue through March, with rolling dates for first day of coverage. Read more on the Affordable Care Act.
U.S. Flu Cases on the Rise
The Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy (CIDRAP) at the University of Minnesota reported last week that rates of flu are on the rise in the United States, with the 2009 H1N1 virus the predominant strain. The good news is that this year's flu vaccine is protective against H1N1.
According to CIDRAP, officials from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have said that the 2009 H1N1 virus has a greater impact on younger adults and older children than seasonal flu strains typically do.
The numbers of U.S. flu cases are usually highest January through March, which means that people who have not had flu shots yet still have time to protect themselves. Full immunity from the vaccine can take up to two weeks from the time of the injection. Use the CDC's Flu Vaccine Finder to find a flu shot in your neighborhood. Read more on outbreaks.
New Orleans Health Commissioner to become Federal Health IT Administrator
New Orleans Health Commissioner Karen DeSalvo, MD, has been appointed the new National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (IT), replacing Farzad Mostashari, who left the position earlier this year. In a memo to employees of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), which oversees the office of the National Coordinator, HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius noted that Dr. DeSalvo boosted the use of health IT as "a cornerstone of [New Orleans's] primary care efforts and a key part of the city's policy development, public health initiatives and emergency preparedness."

Outbreaks and Pandemics: What's Next?
For "Outbreak Week" we've already covered the deadliest pandemics in human history. But which outbreaks could be around the corner? Outbreaks: Protecting Americans from Infectious Diseases, 2013, the new report from Trust for America's Health and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, lays out a few possibilities on which infectious diseases may pose the more serious threats in the future. Here are the greatest threats to the United States, according to Tom Inglesby, MD, Chief Executive Officer and Director of the UPMC Center for Health Security.
Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS)
Spread across 12 countries, the virus has killed almost 40 percent of the people it's infected. And while it may currently be confined to one region of the world, the high level of air travel between the Middle East and the United States increase the chance that it could find its way into the country, according to Inglesby, who said "we still don't have a good handle on how it spreads, and there is no treatment for it or vaccine against it."
Novel influenza virus
A new flu strain that, like the seasonal flu, is far reaching, but which would have a "far higher mortality rate." Recent examples of major flu pandemics include the 2009 H1N1 outbreak; recent studies indicate the swine flu may have killed more than 200,000 people. The new H7N9 is also notable because of its high mortality rate.
Accident involving a lethal engineered virus
With scientists experimenting on viruses — enhancing their lethality or ability to spread — the risk grows of an accident releasing an engineered virus into the population.
It's the most common infectious disease in the world and drug-resistant strains are only making the matter worse. "The level of drug resistance is growing and coping with this needs to be a real priority," said Inglesby.
Antibiotic resistance
Not a pathogen, but a reason why pathogens could become even more dangerous. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is taking steps to combat this growing issue, including new regulations on antimicrobial use in food animals and new restrictions on antibacterial soaps.
Deliberate biological threats
A biological attack, whether from another nation or as a terrorist act, could cause not only severe illness and death, but also communication problems that would hinder the ability of public health departments to respond.
Mosquito-borne illness
Climate change is making this already existing problem even greater—with the regional climate shifts, places that haven't had to deal with mosquito-based threats are now seeing them swarm in because of the warmer weather. Notable examples include the West Nile Virus and Dengue Fever. "We need to reinvigorate our strategy for mosquito control and the infectious diseases that come with mosquitoes.

How does public health take care of the communities it serves during a foodborne illness or infectious disease outbreak? Through a series of sophisticated steps, most choreographed long before an emergency occurs. Every minute of every day, U.S. and global health experts monitor reports that could indicate a disease or foodborne illness outbreak, as well as review samples of food, water, soil and other resources to detect outbreaks. Some of the steps are well laid out and public; others, such as those monitored by the Department of Homeland Security—watchful for terror attacks on food and water supplies—are hidden from view, but supremely vigilant.
Other examples of outbreak preparedness activities:
- Each year the American Public Health Association updates its Control of Communicable Diseases manual, and adds updates as needed to the manual's mobile platforms.
- Outbreak guidance for new public health officers, as well as refreshers for veterans, are provided by public health official member associations such as the National Association of County and City Health Officials and the Association of State and Territorial Health Officials.
- New public health officers are also invited to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) for an orientation that includes outbreak guidance.
No, health officials can't know whether an outbreak might occur next week or next month—or never—and whether it's going to be a new strain of flu, or tainted ground beef sold at multiple food outlets. But by having a set of continually reviewed steps for alerting the public—and keeping them up to date with real-time guidance—targeted advice for any outbreak can be quickly assessed and disseminated.
Health agencies typically share information and best practices with local and state health departments through conference calls and alerts throughout a crisis. And, with the explosion of social media, just about all health departments continually add communications channels for the people they serve. For example, health officials in Montgomery County, Texas, this week are keeping the public informed about an illness outbreak that may turn out to be a severe form of flu, through dedicated channels that include a telephone hotline and its Facebook page. Read the wealth of posts on preparedness on NewPublicHealth to see the many avenues health departments take to keep residents continually informed when an outbreak occurs.

The real question is what's going to become of the PBR-battered tilapia taco?
Other valid questions include:
-Why did King & Mane really decide to use the bizarre "gastro-cantina" as a descriptor of style?
-Why, given that that name has almost no independent meaning, are the owners apparently surprised that some people didn't know what to expect upon entering?
-Why did King & Mane never acquire anything more than a corner of Lombardino's website?
-Why do the owners think switching to a burger model is going to distinguish them on the Square? Or do they just think it'll keep the people who still don't know The Local closed happy when they wander in?
-But really, what's going to happen to the PBR taco?

it took a few coats of this to get the really volumized effect i like. all in all it's a good mascara...not totally wow'ed and will still keep trying new ones
this product is better than drugstore mascara, however I feel it is lacking in "lifting". I needed a mascara that could hold a curl- and that was my main concern when picking one out. The lady at EL suggested this one- saying this is what she wears, and her makeup looked good, however you could tell she had a LOT of layers on. I like to use two coats at most. It does not hold my curl, and even when using an eyelash curler and putting this on I still have some eyelashes that stick straight out. It does make my eyelashes look really nice though when I take the time to apply it perfectly. Not an "on the go" mascara as it can clump.
Extremely expensive and made my eyelashes hard. Matte black, dry/dusty looking, added no volume or length.My eyelashes looked stringy and stuck together. I am also certain that this contributed to, if not the sole contributor, to the fact I now have a patch of really short eyelashes, due to breakage. Since this mascara made my eyelashes so hard it was probably the cause. It looks so bad now, it's in the third, outer quadrant of my left eye. Needless to say I will not be repurchasing, finishing the rest of the one that I have, or opening the new one that I have (had to buy 2 to get a GWP). What a waste of money and eyelashes.
More reviews by littlemissbusiness
My ethnic background is half Italian / half Chinese so I have the length of Italian eyelashes but the thinned out Asian eyelashes with little volume. So, I always need a volume building mascara.
I previously was hooked on Dior but decided to try Estee Lauder's Sumptuous. I was pleasantly surprised at how good it works. I was in a rush and only coated top lashes with 2-3 coats and they look full already.
The brush is long so it is effective at getting pretty much every eyelash in one sweep with an upward motion. I'd love to try it on the bottom next time.
First I have to say that I think its Hilarious that someone posted a pic of a sample tube!
Anyways, I loove this mascara, and I've used Chanel, Lancome, BE, and this is my top fav. It instantly curls my lashes and I can put on tons of coats without it getting clumpy. My tube lasts for ages (which is more than I can say any DS mascara lasts!). I also feel like it nourishes my lashes, unlike Lancome where they feel brittle.
Def. repurchase!
I have been using this for a couple of days now and I really like it. I'm really picky about my mascara so for me to like it, it must be good. When I first used it, I thought it would turn out to be a clumpy mess, but its not at all. The formula is thick so it sticks to my lashes, but the brush really seperates and defines them, and even after a couple of coats, my lashes are not hard. Its kinda pricey, but I would buy it again.
This is one of the best Masacara I have ever tried. It lives up to its name to lift your eye lashes and make it appear fuller and longer! Even when you dont use eyelash curler beforehand it works amazing! I love love this. It's also great as it does not clump. I'm glad I got this. As I got this in Non-Waterproof. This is easy to remove just a swipe of cotton pad damped with water does the job. Love!!
Definitely my new HG mascara.
I got a small tube of it in the estee lauder spring gift with purchase, and boy am I glad!
This product is able to give me the most payoff with the least amount of work in comparison to all of the mascaras that I've tried. The brush is perfect for getting every single lash with little trouble in the inner eye area, and it never clumps up on me. It definitely lifts like they suggest- my eyes instantly look wider and more awake with one application. My eyes have a tendancy to water a lot, and I am loving the water resistance of this mascara.
Overall AMAZING, five star performance from this mascara! The price is a bit high yes, but I think it's very much worth it. I have to go buy a big one now so I can keep the little one in my makeup bag! <3<3

UPDATE: WOULD NOT CONSIDER DUE TO ANIMAL TESTING FOR CHINESE MARKET 17/02/2012 I finally found a mascara that keeps my lashes curled. They're so straight that I have to warm my lash curler with the blow dryer to hold the curl and it dosen't always work. I realise now that the problem was the mascara. Wow, this Bold Volume formula is amazing. I curled after putting it on and it did the trick. The miracle is that they stayed curled and beautiful for a good 8 hours and for me that's amazing. During the last 5 years or so, I tried so many different brands like Lancôme, L'Oréal, Avon Maybeline, mark, Clinique, even Dior and Chanel as last resort since I'm not a fan of those 2, and none of them worked. With Sumptuous I almost feel like sighint the Heart song from the Swiffer commercials. I know it's ridiculous but this is a big deal for me. Having beautifully curled lashes makes me look a good 5 years younger and since yesterday was my birthday It made me feel less depressed about my age and pretty good about myself. I got it with a GWP and this weekend I will go buy the full size.

I have a very healthy trumpet vine...4 years old that sends out lovely, healthy vines but I have never had one bloom. I cut it back to 6-9 inches each spring. Any suggestions? |
Follow-Up Postings:
You need to let the vine establish a woody framework on your wall/trellis. Then you cut the vine back to 1-2 buds from that framework - ie it flowers on new growth off the old growth. Also - It really needs the heat of summer to flower - you need it to be in the warmest spot in your yard - you are pushing it's hardiness abit. Finally be patient - woody vines often take awhile to get really well established. Good luck - Hummers love the flowers. |

I am trying to do the same with honeysuckle and grapes. Would it help if I tied dried grape vines harvested from a previous location, and now I was thinking of using vines or string to train the vines onto my new outdoor open framed room. Now how do I find the right tree to grow from the center of four lattice walls with 2 4 foot side entrances. Mosquito season will be here soon. should I put the netting on it now and if so what should I use? (Did I just high jack this thread?) |

Richmond Hill baseball's 2007 most valuable player nearly gave up on playing post high school ball. He had been turned down by Georgia Southern's coaches and didn't think it was in the cards.
Bryan County High School's Wesley Wilkes signed a letter of intent this past week to play baseball at Armstrong Atlantic University.
No rest for the weary.
Editor's note: Last issue, Richmond Hill baseball player Matt Schlag was featured as one of the two Bryan County Athlete of the Month award winners. This week, Bryan County High School track standout Darrell McElroy is highlighted.
Hendrix Park recently wrapped up their baseball and softball seasons which featured a record-breaking turnout as children from all over North Bryan County came out in droves to participate in America's favorite pastime.
The month of May saw two players - one from each end of the county - tie for Bryan County Athlete of the Month. BCHS track star D.J. McElroy will be featured next week while this issue spotlights co-winner and RHHS baseball star Matt Schlag.
The Richmond Hill Recreation Association just completed regular season play for baseball and softball. The seasons ended with a round-robin tournament for all the teams in order to crown champions for each of its eight divisions.
The 14-and-Under boys divisions at Hendrix Park capped off an exciting season last week which ended with two Hendrix Park home teams, the Crushers and the Diamond Backs, colliding for the division CAA championship. The Crushers, coached by John Curl, took the title in a nail-biting 6-5 game.
Richmond Hill Wildcat baseball player Matt Schlag is on a roll. After being voted as the team's MVP earlier this month, he was recently selected as a member of the Georgia Dugout Club 2007 All State Southeast All-Stars Team.

I am cutting through the basement floor of my 1940 colonial to relocate some of the plumbing and also add a sump pump as part of a bathroom renovation. When I chipped through the floor I found it had two cement layers. The lowest layer is about 4" of very hard cement and in very good shape. The upper layer, which varies from about 1/2" to 1" is softer cement that seems to have a fairly high sand content. In several areas it is not strongly adhered to the concrete underneath. The height of the closet flange appears to line up with the top layer, so it looks like the both layers may have been poured before the fixtures were installed. Under the cast iron pipes I also ran into a charcoal black layer of dirt. At first I thought it was discoloration from contact with the pipe, but it seems more like it might have been something to bed in the pipes before pouring concrete. However, I can't figure out what the material is. Any suggestions about why they used two layers of concrete, and/or would that have been common? Could it have simply been a way to level the floor? Thanks, Bruce |
